The Conference Board’s Expectations Index shot up to 85.6 from a downwardly revised reading of 77.4 in November.
In assessing the future, consumers were more confident that interest rates wouldn’t rise as much, that the stock market would remain strong and that their financial picture would improve.
Even more positive trends. That's what America needs. 
@thirdperson
that is great news buddy !!
thanks for sharing something on the forum that is POSITIVE 
just hate the negative nancys who whine all the time like if they r given a brand new $65,000 SUV free of charge plus insurance and registration , they immediately criticize because now they have to pay for gas 
@thirdperson
VERY good for America!
THANK YOU, President Biden!
I will presume for the moment they did an extensive economic cost/benefit analysis and while they don't like the optics politically because it could hurt the Dems in CA, if they really have the data that suggest this is cheaper in the long run, and I suspect they do or they wouldn't do it, then I say good on them.
Look how easy it is to copy and paste articles...such a shame about the border crisis...
Republicans have had enough of political shenanigans by Biden officials and are calling them out for their character flaws. GOP criticism of the president’s team has risen to a boiling point as Republicans prepare to hold administration officials accountable.
One of the most contentious issues for Republicans is the crisis along the southern U.S. border. Drugs and illegal immigrants flow freely across the border as Biden officials sit back and watch. Biden officials have been questioned exhaustively by Republicans for why this crisis is allowed to continue.
Kansas Republican Sen. Roger Marshall wants to hold Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas accountable for his statements before Congress. Marshall believes the U.S. Senate should not have confidence in Mayorkas after his lack of action and his Congressional testimony.
“Secretary Mayorkas has lied multiple times under oath before Congress, testifying that his DHS has ‘operational control’ of the border. Every American can see with their own two eyes that this statement from Mayorkas is categorically false and downright delusional,” Marshall said.
Marshall contends that the country faces record numbers of illegal aliens gaining entry, including suspected terrorists, Chinese nationals, and cartel members. Marshall believes Mayorkas is at the center of the crisis, and he has served as nearly 10 million illegal aliens have entered the U.S.
“Mayorkas must be held accountable for his lies under oath that directly undermine our national security,” Marshall said.
The senator introduced a resolution against Mayorkas and wants unanimous consent from the Senate to get it passed. This follows efforts by House Republicans who started an impeachment process against the embattled Homeland Security secretary.
Republicans have targeted criticism at Mayorkas who has served in his position as border crossings and illegal immigrant apprehensions surged to record highs under Biden’s policies. Marshall’s resolution makes it clear that action is needed against the cabinet secretary.
The resolution reads in part that Mayorkas has violated his constitutional oath and has “engaged in a pattern of conduct that is incompatible with his constitutional and statutory duties as Secretary of Homeland Security.”
i agree less costly economically
many progressive american companies include health coverage for employees from a cost analysis for the same reasons
Cost analysis can save significant funds! 
There is no valid basis for impeachment of Mayorkas. Constitution forbids impeachment based on policy disagreement between House and executive branch. Legal experts warn of weak case. Border patrol chiefs dispute republican claims and urge extra funding to increase capacity as requested by Biden. Clearly, immigration laws are being enforced in orderly humane way consistent with past administrations.

"There is no valid basis for impeachment of Mayorkas. Constitution forbids impeachment based on policy disagreement between House and executive branch"
Using legal jargon loopholes I see on Article 4, Section 4 of the United States Constitution
Mayorkas is GUILTY OF DERELICTION OF DUTY, PLAIN AND SIMPLE HERE! but unfortunately I KNOW and u know nothing will come of this just yet, But what the future holds, ONLY GOD KNOWS!
The People are starting to awaken from their slumber is all I can say....................................
Yahoo News 2021; Nearly two-third of Americans don’t want President Biden to run for a second term in 2024, according to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.
Meanwhile, Biden’s approval rating continues to fall: just 38 percent of Americans approve of the job the president has done, while 59 percent disapprove and 3 percent are undecided, the survey found.
CNN 2022; Almost three in four Americans (72%) said that they do not want Biden to run again in 2024, according to a new national Marquette Law School poll released on Thursday,
Forbes 2023; new Associated Press/NORC poll suggests that most Americans, even Democrats, would prefer he didn’t run—
The poll, conducted April 13-17 among 1,230 U.S. adults, found only 26% of respondents would like to see Biden run again in 2024, versus 73% who said he shouldn’t.
Right before 2022 midterms.........
USA TODAY; the red ink soared on a monthly basis in September largely because of President Joe Biden's plans to forgive student debt as three decades' worth of costs were compressed into a single month.
forgiving education loans pushed up the federal debt by roughly $400 billion as the government booked the full expense.
Then Biden says; "Republicans in Congress are doubling down on a commitment to explode the deficit again.” 
It isn't "wiped out". Reality does not work that way.
I thought Biden wanted to stay out of wars?
Who is funding all these wars? Lets keep inflation going up so we can get taxed more without calling it a tax. Just wait for taxes to increase to continue funding these wars that Biden didn't want to get involved with.
I guess up means down and down means up. Yes means no and no means yes.
@BigGame90
Politicians say a lot of things...it's the puppeteer 
Just keep printing money and push the inflation under the rug because one thing economics taught us if you don't have the funds we can just make more and it's no big deal...
Can't wait for our dollar to become obsolete and we have to move to the Euro
@ABooksNightmare
Eventually, the FED target of 2% will be hit after a few years. Only problem is, it's YoY so 2% is only on top of the previous year. So people, including some in this post will continue to say "inflation is down, yay!" not realizing that it's not actually down, just only slightly higher than the previous year. And much higher than Bidens first few years in office.
Wiped out? They just deleted numbers on a screen huh? Cool. Money was just paid from a magical account that had hundreds of billions of dollars sitting around, not being used.
Only biden followers believe the debts were "wiped out" and there's no repercussions from this. 
should help a lot of americans
@KellyM_1964
True, it should and most would say that's a good thing.
@KellyM_1964
Give more money away....forgiving debt when you are in debt has to be the dumbest business move there can be....and in return you piss off those that had to pay back there debt or those that don't qualify for this debt relief....which just alienates more people...way to bring everyone together and unify...isn't politics great
